Certainly! Let's match the correct terms to their respective definitions step-by-step:
1. The rock being changed or dissolved by chemicals in the water e.g. CO2 in rain or salt in sea water:
- This process is known as solution. It refers to the chemical action of water dissolving soluble minerals from rocks.
2. The scraping and rubbing action of rocks, like sandpaper:
- This process is known as abrasion. It involves rocks and sediment grinding against each other, causing particles to wear away.
3. The pressure of water hitting the surface, or when it forces air into a crack, breaking the rock:
- This process is called hydraulic action. It occurs when the force of water impacts rocks or forces air into cracks, potentially causing the rock to break apart.
4. Material hitting into each other and breaking into smaller pieces:
- This process is known as attrition. It describes the effect of materials colliding and breaking into smaller fragments.
Now, let's place these terms correctly into the provided table:
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\begin{tabular}{l}
Match the correct term to the definitions in the boxes below: \\
Hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition, solution.
\end{tabular}} \\
\hline Solution & \begin{tabular}{l}
The rock being changed or dissolved \\
by chemicals in the water e.g. CO2 in \\
rain or salt in sea water.
\end{tabular} \\
\hline Abrasion & \begin{tabular}{l}
The scraping and rubbing action of \\
rocks, like sandpaper.
\end{tabular} \\
\hline Hydraulic action & \begin{tabular}{l}
The pressure of water hitting the \\

\end{tabular} \\
\hline Attrition & \begin{tabular}{l}
Material hitting into each other and \\
breaking into smaller pieces
\end{tabular} \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
So, the terms match the definitions as follows:
- Solution: The rock being changed or dissolved by chemicals in the water.
- Abrasion: The scraping and rubbing action of rocks.
- Hydraulic action: The pressure of water hitting the surface or forcing air into a crack.
- Attrition: Material hitting into each other and breaking into smaller pieces.
